Brighton Aims for Home Victory Against Leeds This Saturday

BRIGHTON, England — Brighton & Hove Albion will host Leeds United at the American Express Community Stadium on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. ET. Both teams are looking to break into the top half of the Premier League table.

Brighton comes into this match after suffering a setback last weekend, losing 4-2 to Manchester United and ending a five-match unbeaten streak. With three wins, three draws, and three losses, Brighton is still searching for consistency. However, the team remains unbeaten at home this season, with just two losses at the Amex since last Christmas.

Leeds, currently sitting in 15th place, comes off a boost after defeating West Ham United 2-1 at home and hoping to build on that momentum. The Whites’ only victory away from Elland Road this season was a 3-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers in September, and they will look to improve their away form as another relegation battle looms.

Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler will have to navigate injuries, with Solly March and Adam Webster both ruled out due to knee problems. Jack Hinshelwood is also sidelined with an ankle issue. Fitness tests will be conducted on Kaoru Mitoma, Joel Veltman, and Brajan Gruda before the match. James Milner is also a doubt as he deals with a minor muscle issue.

For Leeds, manager Daniel Farke received positive news as Willy Gnonto and Gabriel Gudmundsson returned to training, though Gnonto is unlikely to start. Gudmundsson is expected to play at left-back alongside a back four consisting of Joe Rodon, Jaka Bijol, and Jayden Bogle, with Lucas Perri in goal.

In midfield, Anton Stach is pushing for a starting spot, but the trio of Sean Longstaff, Ethan Ampadu, and Ao Tanaka have formed a reliable partnership. Daniel James could challenge for a place in the starting lineup against Brighton.

As both teams prepare to clash, the Seagulls will look to capitalize on their home advantage, while Leeds aims to rely on its counter-attacking style. With both sides desperate for points, Saturday’s matchup promises to be an exciting contest.

Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. ET on Saturday, and fans can catch the game live on Peacock.
